Patio Doors & Single French Door collection

A single patio door is one hinged, glazed door that opens onto your garden, patio or balcony. It suits narrower openings where a sliding or double door will not fit, and still brings in plenty of light and easy access. At SparWindows you can order single patio doors and single French doors made to measure in uPVC, Nordic pine or alu-clad timber, built in our own factory.

All our windows and doors are UK-CA marked. To make sure your order meets Building Regulations, for example safety glass rules, please pick the options that fit your home’s needs.

How to maintain your energy-efficient windows and doors

Pine windows and doors

  • When to check the pine windows and doors?

    When it comes to pine windows and doors, it's a good idea to be proactive with maintenance.

    Check the surface regularly, especially on the sides of the house that are exposed to sunlight, as the sun's rays are particularly hard on the paint.

  • When to paint the pine windows and doors?

    The humidity in the wood should not be too high. In addition, it is best when the temperature is between 10-20 degrees and you are not painting in direct sunlight. Don't start painting before the dew has disappeared and don't start so late that the dew returns before the paint is completely dry.

    Weather-wise, late summer is often a good time to paint.

  • How to paint pine windows and doors?

    It's best to paint before the paint starts to crack or peel, as all you need to do is clean. before painting on top. Once the paint has started to crack, we recommend sanding and priming before repainting.

    It is recommended to give the woodwork two thin coats of paint rather than one thick coat. Let the paint dry for 24 hours between coats, remembering not to close the windows until the paint is dry.

    A good tip is to take off the window frames and remove as many fittings as possible to speed up the painting process and make it possible to paint underneath the fittings.

    It is important that you do not paint sealing strips, fittings and warranty and production labelling. 

Alu-clad windows and doors

  • How to maintain alu-clad windows and doors?

    When it comes to alu-clad windows and doors, maintenance is minimal.

    Simply wash the frame and sash a couple of times a year as needed. Use pH neutral soap and lukewarm water. 

What is a single patio door?

A single patio door is one hinged door leaf, glazed to let in light, that opens onto your garden, patio or balcony. Choose it when your opening is too narrow for a sliding or double door, or when you want one neat access point to the outside.

The door swings open on hinges instead of sliding along a track. That gives you a wide clear opening for its size, and a traditional look that suits most UK homes.

Your door comes made to measure, so it fits your exact opening. You do not have to build around a standard size.

Single patio door or single French door?

A single French door is a type of single patio door. The name describes the style: a hinged, fully glazed door, often divided by glazing bars into separate panes. So every single French door is a patio door, but not every patio door is French in style.

Want the classic look with glazing bars? Choose a French design. Prefer a cleaner face with fewer bars? A plain single patio door gives you the same access with a more modern line.

If your opening is wide and you want the glass to slide rather than swing, see our sliding patio doors instead.

Choose your material: uPVC, pine or alu-clad timber

You can order your single patio door in three materials, each built for UK weather.

uPVC gives you a low-maintenance door. It needs little more than an occasional wipe with pH-neutral soap and lukewarm water.

Nordic pine gives you a natural timber door with a painted finish. Check the paint from time to time, and more often on the sides of the house that face the sun.

Alu-clad timber wraps a pine core in an aluminium shell. You get the warmth of wood inside and a weatherproof face outside that needs very little upkeep.

Every material comes with up to 12 years' warranty, and you can choose double or triple glazing to suit your home. Your door comes in white as standard, with other colour options available.

Door designs, from 1-light to 15-light

You can choose from more than 20 door designs. The "light" count tells you how many glass panes the door has, from a single-pane 1-light door up to a 15-light design with a fine grid of glazing bars.

For a modern look, fewer lights keep the glass open and the sightlines clean. For a period or cottage look, more lights give you that traditional divided appearance.

Some models add a solid lower panel, and you can pick a low-panel version if you want more glass down the door. For even more daylight, choose a single French door with opening sidelights, so the side windows open alongside the main door. See the range on our French doors page.

FAQ

  • What is the difference between a patio door and a French door?

    In the UK, "patio door" is a general term for any door that opens onto a garden, patio or balcony. A single French door is one specific style: a hinged, fully glazed door, often with glazing bars. Sliding and bi-fold doors are other patio door types. At SparWindows, our single patio and French doors are the hinged, made-to-measure kind.

  • What is a single patio door?

    A single patio door is one hinged, glazed door leaf that opens onto your garden, patio or balcony. It suits narrower openings where a double or sliding door will not fit, and still brings in plenty of natural light and easy access. You can order yours in uPVC, Nordic pine or alu-clad timber, made to measure.

  • How much does a single patio door cost?

    The price of a single patio door depends on the model you choose, from a plain 1-light door to a 15-light design, the material, and your made-to-measure size. Glazing, threshold and vent options also affect it. Use the online price tool on the product page to see your exact price before you order.

  • Can I get a single French door with side windows that open?

    Yes. Alongside standard single doors, we make single French doors with opening sidelights. The side windows let in more light and air while keeping a single main door leaf. Choose your model, add any vents or thresholds you need, enter your dimensions, and we build the door to fit in our own factory.

  • Are your patio doors secure and Building Regulations compliant?

    Yes. Every SparWindows patio door is UK-CA marked and built to order in our own factory. You choose the glazing to meet UK Building Regulations, including toughened safety glass where the rules require it. That means your door meets UK safety standards from the day it is installed.
